Ranga Posted May 18, 2012 Share If you really want to be anal it should be Underberg School to Scottburgh School.Sani2c sounds a lot better.Underberg and Himeville are in the area known as the Sani Saunter, the same as various places make up the Midlands Meander.

Guest Omega Man Posted May 18, 2012 Share Maybe they should call it the (Starting GPS co ordinates) to (Ending GPS co ordinates). Just messing around. Besides. I've seen the word EXTREME used to describe 10 pin bowling and fishing. A little puffing is acceptable surely.

johnpat Posted May 21, 2012 Share the trend of naming a race "the this to that" is actually not very original and lacks imagination Come now; you're being a bit petty about this... (a) It doesn't say "SaniPass2C"; as Ranga said, Underberg is in the Sani area. It's accurate, deal with it. (b ) I don't know how or why or where you've picked up on this "trend" of race naming. Is this something you find interesting? I also disagree with you; I think the name "Sani2C" was in fact a pretty good idea for naming convention; it's allowed for the direct development and familiarisation with "Joberg2C", as well as "Berg2C"; it's basically created a "...2C" brand, in which lies a fair amount of power. The popularity of the 3 races with sponsors might attest to that. Edited May 21, 2012 by johnpat bongs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you think "tour de xxxx" is original? I think its pretty dumb, especially when the non-native language is used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadamhussein Posted May 21, 2012 Share my aim with this is to force people to think beyond what they are force fed, to question the norm - what is wrong with that? when i first heard of this race many years ago i thought - "cool, a race that goes up/down sani pass! this should be awesome" - having cycled up and down sani pass i was pretty excited at the idea of it being part of a race, but the name was misleading, so right there and then a false perception was created by the people organising it. clearly this post has ruffled some feathers as people get pretty emotional about their precious race names. to them i say, get over it! to question the name of a race is not an insult on your personality, unless you are so insecure that you see the fact that you participated in a race as an extension of who you are.
